Fitbit is another option as well. I've had that for about 3 months now and love it. I don't wear it when I sleep though, but for all other times. It helps me gauge days when I need to get more exercise in. http://www.fitbit.com

Same thing happened to me. Downloaded it instead, and tried to install and it still didn't work. OSX Lion, chrome v 19.0.1084.30

Good advice. How do you recommend contributing? That's one thing that confuses me. Let's say every month I have excess income, how do I decide when and at what interval to put that money into a given index fund? Do I just set an automatic t

I make good money, but not at any position to be an angel investor. My main goal is to grow my net worth and not lose money because it sits in a bank account somewhere and loses because of inflation

My limited reading and research into stock market investing. I liked the sound of low cost management as opposed to mutual funds, as well as history has shown index funds to do fairly well. I have chosen funds based on companies I respect t

Very good point. In addition, so many things cannot be represented digitally in dating/flirting. So much body language and unspoken signals go into reading of interest and intrigue between two people. Albeit my knowledge of dating sites are

In support of original post, I did not know what it was either. A simple tooltip or hover could have solved. Even if it was a title tag filled out for the image. Just saying that not everyone recognizes that icon

I agree. Generally with smart basketball players, there TO's go down as they get familiar with the pace and level of play. A comment struck me the other day by an announcer, Lin has never played against 7 footers before. Whether that's true

Please indulge my ignorance... Maybe a chemist or someone better versed can answer; are we close, or is it plausible to construct a star trek like replicator to rearrange atoms to form new substances such as water?

Building a service that is dependent on another service is always a risk, but this is a very nice and simple app that a lot of the "social media" sides of companies could utilize. It's a great idea to make some extra revenue and I think has

Would be cool to have an example of this running on websockets and get rid of the request/response latency that most autocompletes have. Keep the socket open when the text field is focused and you should be able to cut down the response tim

Even atheism isn't a religion, I'd like to see what the distribution is for individuals that would classify themselves as atheists. I see there's an unaffiliated category. According to the site; This group (unaffiliated) includes atheists,

run 'bundle update rails' instead of 'bundle update'. If you're like me, you'd like to only update the rails gem. EDIT: If you run bundle update with no parameters, bundler will ignore any previously installed gems and resolve all dependenc

I'm actually quite curious about your amazon affiliate model, and what your upkeep cost vs income is? Looks like a great site and will be perusing as I finish my current reading material. Any thought in a book recommendation engine or looki

Isn't there a google app to take a picture of certain items/places and it's supposed to be able to identify? That could definitely come in handy if there's an API for that.

The problem is it's hard to "check-in" for a beer you're drinking. FourSquare is a bit easier because you don't really need to type anything out, it's location based. Not only that, but the more beer you drink the harder it will be to succe

At least in chrome the backspace key performs a browser back. Should try to overload the key with keydown event. Would also be cool to have a history of ran commands or tab-completion functionality =)
